Hollywood Bowl has acquired three bowling centres in Calgary, expanding the group’s Canadian platform to nine centres.
The three entertainment centres (YYC Bowling & Entertainment, Mountain View Bowl and Let's Bowl), each have tenpin bowling lanes, dining, drinks and amusement offers.
The company says the move supports the group's growth strategy in the fragmented Canadian market and will build on its acquisition of the Splitsville bowling business last year, the group's first in Canada.
Stephen Burns, chief executive of Hollywood Bowl Group, said: "We are delighted to have made these acquisitions. They mark an important step towards our planned expansion of the Splitsville brand in Canada, where there is significant demand for affordable, family-friendly leisure experiences.
“These are our first centres in the important Alberta market, and together with Pat Haggerty, our Canadian president and managing director, and his team, we are looking forward to applying our knowledge and experience to these centres.
“We are focused on enhancing the customer experience as we invest in and grow their businesses over the coming years."
